The northern region of Israel has been under constant alert. Multiple rocket sirens echoed in the Upper Galilee and northern Golan Heights, warning of potential drone infiltrations. Over 40 rockets were fired from Lebanon towards these areas, according to Al-Mayadeen, a network associated with Hezbollah. A fire broke out in the Banias nature reserve amidst these attacks.

Residents in several unevacuated communities in the Galilee Panhandle were also alerted. Approximately 15 launches were identified towards the Golan Heights. Meanwhile, Lebanon reported strikes in its southern region.

Hezbollah announced another casualty, Ali Khalil Hamad from southern Lebanon. Since the war began, the terror organization has officially declared the deaths of 335 of its operatives.
Meanwhile, in a briefing to the Israeli government, security officials stated their readiness for the northern front but are awaiting directives from the political echelon. They also emphasized that the army is winning in Gaza, and it's illogical for anyone to suggest otherwise. They added that the intensive operation in Gaza will require several more weeks.

On Saturday, a joint operation of Israel's security forces successfully freed 4 Israeli hostages Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.
